When you ask people from far away who have never been to Chicago, they think of the Bulls and gangsters . All those old gangster movies really left an impression, and gangsters end up with prison stripes in the old movies. Plus not all beach towels have stripes. Condor, the official airline of Chicago

Prison stripes is old fashioned. . . I think a solid orange is the new fashion garb for prisoners these days (but what do I know?). . .

A more appropriate comparison would be to Chicago's city flag - as it has two blue stripes. . .
